Recycling Batteries Responsibly

The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.

The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer’s responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of dispo sal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk

All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements. In accordance with national law, SAMSUNG Electronics (UK) Ltd is a member of an approved batteries producer compliance scheme. This scheme collects, treats and disposes of batteries on Samsung’s behalf.

I bought this to upgrade my old SONY DVD/PVR. This Samsung SMART PVR provides all the catch up TV apps : BBC iplayer, ITV player, 4OD and 5OD wirelessly from my router.

Set up was easy, though, as a Freeview user I experienced one hitch. When you enter your postcode, the set up process assumes that you receive signals from the local transmitter (in my case the IOW) As I live in a hilly area and can't receive TV from there the SAMSUNG couldn't find any programmes. Since moving to this area I have had to tune to the Mendip transmitter TV so I got around this on The SAMSUNG by searching on google and entering a postcode from a property(actually Boots in Sturminster Newton) from the normal Mendip area and all my usual TV channels were loaded. After getting over this minor hitch I've been delighted with all the features.

Great 100%, plug and play straight out of the box, Very easy to use and a nice looking unit.

Value for money!

Bought this a week ago when our other DVD recorder packed up. Brilliant piece of kit. Operates in the same way as our Samsung Smart TV and, because our Sony TV is HD ready, it produces an excellent picture.

Easy set up and great functions, so glad we chose this one. Great value for money, too.
